I actually wrote my congressperson, I was so upset:
Your recent co-sponsorship of a bill allowing a 2/3rds majority of Congress to overrule the Supreme Court on constitutionality issues has profoundly offended me. I count myself difficult to outrage, but I am astounded that any well-educated citizen of the United States - let alone a congressperson who has sworn an oath to uphold the Constitution - should support such a blatant attack on the system of checks and balances which protect our very freedoms. I am embarrassed to live in a district in any way associated with this travesty, and urgently hope you will reconsider this ill-advised attempt to wrest power from our judiciary.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I know it won't pass, but I'm still disgusted.
And people wonder why I've yet to apply for American citizenship. 'Cause I still might need to move BACK, love in tow, that's why.
